#BookReview SPLINTERED MAGIC by Jilleen Dolbeare #Paranormal #UrbanFantasy

The garden is still taking up most of my time just now, so not much progress on the writing front, but that’s normal for me for the longer days and warmer weather. So, on the back of last week’s review of the prequel novelette, SPLINTERCAT, I thought I’d go right ahead and share my review […]

This year’s garden, and #BookReview SPLINTERCAT by Jilleen Dolbeare #Paranormal women’s #UrbanFantasy

I missed out on a post last week due to the much anticipated and welcome arrival of Spring! Despite the lack of warmth and sun leading up to the opening of May, the weeds have been growing like, well, weeds. With the advent of better weather there was (and still is) an urgent need to […]

#BookReview – THE PALACE OF LOST MEMORIES by C.J. Archer #historicalfantasy #fantasy

I read this one back in December, but held off writing my review until I’d read the entire series – always a good sign! I did read one or two other books in between, but always purchased the next in this 6 book series as soon as I’d finished the previous one. The setting is […]

#BookReview – Cordial Killing by Vikki Walton #CosyMystery

And it’s back to my backlog of reviews from last year! This one is for the second in the Backyard Farming Mystery series. You can see my review of the first one, Chicken Culprit, here. Blurb When one of the first guests at the Brandywine Inn dies, Anne has to determine which of her guests […]

#BookReview: The Snow Queen – The Complete Saga by K.M. Shea #fantasy

Another book review from my reading binge while recovering from surgery. This one was a bargain boxset, and I liked both the cover and the blurb. Blurb Rakel is a princess who should have been queen. Instead, as a despised magic user she has spent most of her life exiled on a barren mountain, alone […]

#BookReview THE UNRAVELING OF LADY FURY by Shehanne Moore #Steamy #RegencyRomance

Yet another dip into a different genre for me. I came across this one courtesy of fellow author Diana (D. Wallace Peach) who reviewed it during her promotional tour for her latest release The Necromancer’s Daughter, which I reviewed last week! The blurb sounded enticing, with Diana’s review highlighting the hilarity on offer, and I’m […]

#BookReview – THE NECROMANCER’S DAUGHTER by D. Wallace Peach #fantasy

Catching up on the reviews of the many books I read while recovering from my operations last year. This one is a classic ‘couldn’t put it down’, as I’ve come to expect from this author. The Necromancer’s Daughter by D. Wallace Peach My rating: 5 of 5 stars The queen of Verdane died in childbirth, […]

#BookReview SADDLED HEARTS by Jan Sikes #RomanticSuspense

I know I’ve promised to share the results of my December promo, and I will, but being a free promo, the results will be slower to appear and analyse, so I will get an initial post about it put together after the end of this month, and then we can try to estimate it FREE […]

#BookReview: Things Old and Forgotten by Mae Clair @MaeClair1

This week I’m reviewing a collection of Mae Clair’s short stories. As I say at the start of the review, I’m not normally a fan of short fiction, but I’ve read enough of the author’s novels to know I would enjoy these – and I did. Things Old and Forgotten by Mae Clair My rating: […]

#BookReview – where the magic is by Giselle Green #romance

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been sharing with you parts of my adventures in Edinburgh with my author-friend Giselle. Today I am reviewing her latest book, and posing the question: if you had a successful career as a traditionally published author, what would make you indie publish your latest novel? Where the magic […]
